This curriculum spans the design and governance of customer acquisition systems at the scale of an enterprise-wide, multi-quarter initiative involving executive leadership, cross-functional teams, and external partners, comparable to an internal capability-building program embedded within ongoing management review cycles.

Module 1: Defining Acquisition Strategy within Executive Governance

  • Selecting between product-led, sales-led, and marketing-led acquisition models based on unit economics and leadership capacity
  • Aligning customer acquisition objectives with board-level financial targets and quarterly forecasting cycles
  • Establishing escalation protocols for acquisition budget overruns requiring CFO or CEO approval
  • Integrating acquisition KPIs into executive dashboards without overloading strategic review meetings
  • Deciding whether to prioritize market share growth or profitability in acquisition planning under investor pressure
  • Resolving conflicts between regional GMs and global marketing on target customer definitions

Module 2: Cross-Functional Resource Allocation and Budget Control

  • Allocating shared budget pools between marketing, sales development, and product teams based on pipeline contribution
  • Implementing zero-based budgeting for digital ad spend across multiple business units with competing priorities
  • Managing carryover rules for unused acquisition funds at fiscal year-end across departments
  • Enforcing cost-per-acquired-customer (CPAC) thresholds that trigger automatic campaign pauses
  • Reconciling marketing’s demand generation numbers with sales’ closed-won metrics in financial reporting
  • Deciding when to reallocate funds from brand awareness to direct response based on sales cycle length

Module 3: Data Infrastructure and Attribution Modeling

  • Selecting between first-touch, last-touch, and algorithmic attribution models for compensation reporting
  • Integrating CRM, ad platforms, and web analytics systems when IT security policies restrict data sharing
  • Handling discrepancies in lead counts between Salesforce and Marketo due to deduplication logic
  • Defining what constitutes a “qualified” lead for acquisition reporting across product lines
  • Managing executive requests for real-time dashboards that strain data warehouse capacity
  • Documenting data lineage for acquisition metrics presented in audit-ready format

Module 4: Sales and Marketing Alignment in Execution

  • Setting service level agreements (SLAs) for lead response time and follow-up frequency
  • Resolving disputes over lead ownership when multiple reps claim the same opportunity
  • Adjusting lead scoring models when sales feedback indicates poor lead quality
  • Coordinating field event participation with digital nurture campaigns to avoid message conflict
  • Managing handoff process from SDRs to AEs including required documentation and call recordings
  • Handling regional variations in sales cycle length when evaluating global campaign performance

Module 5: Channel Selection and Vendor Management

  • Negotiating performance-based contracts with agencies that include clawback clauses for underperformance
  • Deciding whether to build in-house SEO capability or outsource to specialized firms
  • Managing legal review of co-marketing agreements with channel partners for lead sharing
  • Consolidating overlapping ad tech vendors to reduce licensing costs and integration complexity
  • Assessing whether to enter emerging channels (e.g., audio ads, retail media networks) based on pilot results
  • Enforcing brand compliance across franchisee acquisition campaigns with limited oversight

Module 6: Regulatory Compliance and Risk Mitigation

  • Implementing consent management platforms (CMPs) that comply with GDPR and CCPA without degrading conversion
  • Responding to regulatory inquiries about lead generation practices from data protection authorities
  • Updating acquisition workflows when legal restricts use of third-party data sources
  • Conducting vendor risk assessments for marketing technology providers with access to PII
  • Managing disclosure requirements for paid endorsements and affiliate marketing in SEC filings
  • Archiving acquisition campaign data for litigation hold purposes based on legal department directives

Module 7: Performance Review and Strategic Iteration

  • Presenting customer acquisition ROI to the board using consistent methodology across quarters
  • Adjusting go-to-market strategy after post-mortem analysis of failed market entry campaigns
  • Revising target customer profiles based on cohort analysis showing poor retention in acquired segments
  • Managing executive pressure to continue underperforming campaigns due to sunk cost bias
  • Standardizing acquisition reporting templates across business units for consolidation
  • Initiating course corrections when CAC exceeds LTV by predefined tolerance thresholds
